A Walk with Cristine
Art
The Monastery of La Cartuja, now home to the Andalusian Centre for Contemporary Art (CAAC), is one of the most important monuments in the city.
Within this historic complex, among the monastery’s gardens and former vegetable gardens, stands the Pickman Pavilion, a unique 19th-century building in the historicist style.
The Church of Santa Catalina
The Sacramental Chapel houses one of the great treasures of Seville’s Baroque heritage.
A magnificent altarpiece by Felipe Fernández del Castillo and Benito de Hita y Castillo. A compendium of carvings, paintings, plasterwork, stonework, and gilding
Monastery of Santa Paula
The façade of the Church of the Monastery of Santa Paula, with its Italian Renaissance-inspired design and ceramics by Niculoso Pisano, the Italian artist who settled in Seville and revolutionised the city’s ceramic tradition, which is now part of Seville’s cultural heritage.
An essential stop
Sit by the river on the Seville side, between the Triana Bridge and Chillida’s Monument to Tolerance, and enjoy an ice cream from Heladería Rayas as the afternoon fades.
José Rayas founded the ice cream parlour around 1980, making it one of the first in the city. Rayas has built a history of flavours over the years.
Dinner on the street
Taberna La Sal, Calle Doncellas, right in the heart of the Santa Cruz neighbourhood.
A little corner of Zahara de los Atunes in the centre of Seville, where the produce takes centre stage.
The cuisine focuses on personal, creative dishes with a strong identity, showcasing Zahara’s star ingredients, alongside a carefully selected wine list worth mentioning.
La Giralda is much more than a viewpoint
Climbing La Giralda is the ultimate Seville visitor’s ritual. It may seem obvious, but this is, without a doubt, the city’s most iconic building.
Within a single monument, you can trace much of Seville’s history: from the great Islamic city and the Christian conquest to the transformation of the former mosque into a cathedral and the splendour of Renaissance Seville.
Tapas
Taberna La Fresquita is a very traditional tapas bar with a strong connection to Seville’s Holy Week culture, located in the city centre on Calle Mateos Gago, opposite the Church of Santa Cruz.
Perfect for a cold beer or a glass of wine accompanied by a tapa.
Sunset at our rooftop
The perfect plan is waiting up high. Enjoy the sunsets from the Cristine Bedfor Sevilla rooftop, with a varied selection of cocktails and snacks to make the moment even better.
Itálica
Visit Itálica, the ancient Roman city that gave Rome two emperors: Hadrian and Trajan, the only Iberian-born emperors in the history of the Roman Empire.
The Seville ritual
In Plaza de América, popularly known as Plaza de las Palomas, you’ll find the Museum of Arts and Popular Customs, a Neo-Mudéjar gem designed by Aníbal González.
And for the most quintessentially Sevillian photo: dare to feed the pigeons and take the obligatory picture.The vendors selling alberjones, their traditional food, disappeared in the 1990s, but the iconic scene remains.
